A Vintage Heritage, a Modern Reference at Soyuz
Part of the "017" lineage, the 017 FET translates the aesthetic of classic large-diaphragm condensers into a contemporary, reliable, and reproducible approach. Alongside the 017 Tube, it embodies Soyuz's vision: fully handmade microphones capable of delivering the depth and warmth prized in historic models, with the precision and consistency expected from a modern tool.
Who and What Is It For?
Designed for sound engineers, professional studios, and demanding creators, the 017 FET excels on lead vocals, strings, piano, overheads, and instruments rich in transients. Its clear FET character highlights nuances without harshness, especially in the high frequencies, while maintaining a balanced low end that facilitates mix integration.
Technologies and Design Serving the Result
Handcrafted Capsule and Musical Voicing
The large 34 mm gold-plated capsule, machined and hand-tensioned, ensures excellent sensitivity to micro-details and an "open" sound that flatters both delicate and complex sources. The carefully managed off-axis response preserves timbral coherence in the room.
Fast and Stable FET Electronics
The FET circuit provides a quick transient response, exemplary stability, and easy use via 48 V phantom power. Compared to the 017 Tube, the 017 FET prioritizes precision and high-level handling without the maintenance associated with tubes.
Versatile Cardioid Polar Pattern
The cardioid pattern helps isolate the source and manage room acoustics. An optional omnidirectional capsule expands possibilities for natural recordings and ensembles.
